you stand tall
facing the works of art,
Monet and
Renoir and
Van Gogh
all slowly
consuming your thoughts
color by color,
brushstroke by brushstroke
and you have
the nerve
to ask me
to point towards my favorite
masterpiece;
you pessimist,
you train wreck,
it's always been you.

You're back...
You have returned and I am relieved.
This family welcomes you with open arms.
I sense the same feelings that I have, within you.
You resent the hugs, the acts of love, and I know that it is for similar reasons.
(But it is in fact nothing serious!)
You offer open arms to me and I accept your embrace, with pleasure.
I missed you.
Sometimes I hate how I can see parts of you in myself, but then I remember what a beautiful person you are and I am okay.
You are a beautiful person and I am okay.
I admire you and I am okay.
*I missed you.
My sis is back from Rome for a few days pow pow pow
He asks her to write a song for him,
She composes for him, her poetry...
                                                      ­  
                                                        He asks her to tell him a bed-time story
                                                        Sh­e lulls him with her poetry...

He asks her to sing a song for him,
She recites to him her poetry...

                                                     ­            He asks her to dance with him,
                                                            ­   She moves him with her poetry...
                                                  
He asks her, to be his girl.
She smiles, *and gives him her poetry...
Poetry is what makes her.

we stargaze because we know the answers we need are not on earth
i dont even know what this is!
I'm addicted to something
I haven't tried
I don't know what to do
I can't get it off my mind.
It comes in all forms
sugars, powders, plants, liquids too
I want it in my system
I'm often very blue.
Make my temperature rise
And my heart beat slow
I don't care what it is
Just let me go.
I need something to cope
I need something to see
But ultimately,
I want to go back to being me.

even the moon
slumps its shoulders
in a sort of
deep despair
from your absence.

I should have known...
You always preferred
The smell of fresh coffee
To the smell of a fresh start.
You never wanted anything more
Than company...
Than attention...
Did you?
Just being friends could be fun,
But I'd rather taste your tongue.
You know how much you mean to me...
Stop teasing me.
You're cute so I'ma flirt with you anyway

I do not know how to feel,
I do not know how to function,
But at least I no-longer dream,
Of serious self-destruction.

I dream of living anxiety-free,
I dream of compassion, of care,
I dream of being able to breathe,
Without choking on fresh air.
Anxiety is gross, like even deep breaths can send me into panic attacks, it's mad. I've come far though!
